Scentstory goes West with 24 Live Another Night

This is a good fragrance, worthy of figuring in the Scentstory offer and highly underrated. It's probably the most unique cologne from this designer, along with 24 Go Dark.
I do not consider it to be a clone of One Million as many have stated; Yes, it could be a One Million flanker if it would be designed by Paco Rabanne, but no existing Paco Rabanne fragrance smells like 24 Live Another Night. This Scentstory fragrance is less sweet, more ambery and with a detectable mint note that does not exist in the One Million family.
This perfume opens light and fresh with fruit and mint, to later slowly acquire a more oriental tone with resins, nutmeg and cinnamon, and to reveal a strong dominant ambery note in the base. The drydown is quite pleasant with a sweet combo of nutmeg and cinnamon wrapped in a captivating resinous amber.
Although this fragrance structure is Oriental, it's quite different from the vast majority of the other less unique and "more oriental" Scentstory perfumes as it does not use oud, nor has any other heavy scented woody notes like guaiac or sandalwood. Scentstory just made a more western fragrance with 24 Live Another Night.
Its performance is average but, for the silly price it costs, hardly a good performance could be asked on top of its very nice blending and general scent.
It's a safe "use it all the time"" type of perfume, subtle enough to be quite versatile, with a nice flask and a decent sprayer.
I don't understand why it does sell for 1/3 of other Scentstory fragrances. Are the other fragrances overrated or is this fragrance underrated? Well it's our profit if we become this fragrance users.

Compliments: 7.0 (This fragrance will please to a wide range of people of both genders, but meaning only that you have an agreable scent, not a "killer" or a "compliment magnet" scent)
